> Can i use scripting to make a sequential playlist that only plays one video then returns to the main menu, then upon pressing play again, plays the next video?
No, but you could string together videos where the end actions run scripts that determine the next menu or video to go to. So it is possible to get close to what you want using videos that end with scripts that determine the next place to go.

You’re correct. You can’t remote render with scripting. I don’t believe there is anything you can automate with scripting for your workflow.

There is no way to intercept the selection of a template with scripting and warn you about your selection. What you could do is write a script that only uses the 500K WMV template and then just run that script to render.

Oh. I thought you already understood that this requires scripting. There is no way to do this without writing a few scripts. You’ll need to use the registers in the DVD player to keep score. Look for “DVD quiz script” on Google and you’ll find several ways to do this. Most of the approaches are a compromise to work within the limits of DVD scripting but all of them use scripting to achieve this.

OK that explains it. The Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 720p is 1.0000. The PAR of a 1080 is 1.3333. You changed the dimension of the Generated Media but you didn’t change the PAR. Open the media’s properties and change the PAR to 1.3333 (HDV 1080) and the media will fill the screen.

Generated Media is always created at the project resolution so there should be no issues with size. Something else must be causing this.

I have the Pioneer BDR-202 burner and I love it. As for players, your customer will have to maintain their player to the latest software levels available from their manufacturer to get the best compatibility.

It sounds like it might be a display driver issue. Turn off hardware acceleration for your graphics card. If that fixes the problem, try updating your graphics card to the latest drivers that the manufacturer supplies. Note: the latest drivers from the chip manufacturer (i.e., NVIDIA, ATI, etc.) might not always work. Always use the latest from the graphics card manufacturer.

There is no way to keep the random function from generating the same number twice. What you might try is to create several playlists that are in different orders and then randomly select one of the playlists to use for the game. This will guarantee that no video gets played twice and if you make a dozen or more playlists the user will feel that the game is random.
